Help A Family will focus our efforts at the Women's Recovery Community Center located at 25 Beulah Road in New Britain. The center provides shelter to area women who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Currently there is space for 10 full time resident women, many who are working hard to return to their families. Throughout the year we have worked to raise funds to purchase gifts for residents and the center. Volunteers are needed to wrap gifts and prepare a meal to take to residents.

A second task at the Center calls for removing and storing window air conditioners (could be done on Saturday).
